“Noah was able to accommodate a last-minute request when work conflicts came up, totally saving the day for us. He was responsive and sent plenty of photos, too. Thank you!”
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“Genevieve is amazing with our dog Louis!! She is super friendly, responsive, and always on time, and she provides helpful details in her reports on every walk. Our dog is BEYOND excited to see her every time she comes to pick him up, which is always the best sign. We highly recommend Genevieve to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”

About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I just got a vet assistant job so usually it requires me to be away for 6 hours! I can only do all day pet sitting on Wednesdays and Sundays which I have off! I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.
“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience training my own pups multiple times. I bring patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for—treating them like part of my family. Caring for dogs is a natural part of our family’s routine. I work from home twice a week, but my husband is home during the day and loves taking the pups out for walks and playtime on his breaks. We have a large fenced yard that’s great for playtime. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your dog feel most comfortable—whether that’s sleeping in a crate, curling up beside our bed or sticking to their usual schedule. My goal is to make their stay feel as close to home as possible.
“Celeste was very easy to communicate with and left a thorough report card of their walk every day. Celeste arrived right on time to take Remy for a long walk and even took him to the park to play fetch. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”

I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small.

At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.

Last year, my sweet 14-year-old Maltese passed away and I have been missing dog (and cat) interaction since. She needed bi-weekly allergy shots, which I administered.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Echo
Lindsay is absolutely great! This was my first time using Rover, and she had been incredibly patient and helpful throughout everything. She took the time to explain everything clearly and kept me updated with great communication. You can genuinely tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely recommend Lindsay and would happily book with her again!
Whitney was an absolute lifesaver walking my two little pups. They warmed up to her instantly. She went above and beyond making sure they were safe and got good exercise and sniffs. Communication was perfect. I would absolutely reach out to Whitney as a top choice for future walks. Highest recommendation. Thank you Whitney!
Katie was fantastic with my anxious and timid rescue dog! She came over for a meet and greet, and she was very calm and respected my dog’s space. She was quick to respond to my request, and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely ask Katie to walk my dog in the future. I highly recommend her!
Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
Can’t recommend Madeline enough. She helped us out with regular weekly walks for my dog. She was always timely and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs. He would literally yelp for joy when she arrived he was so excited to see her. I would recommend Madeline in a heartbeat!
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a mature, responsible caregiver who clearly takes her role seriously. From the start, I have felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Communication was thoughtful and reliable, and it was obvious that she pays close attention to each dog’s needs.Sonja is experienced, dependable, and genuinely caring.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
